Weapons/war industries enriches the 1%, but cuts to everything else in American society are sacrificed to maintain war.

What a plan: destabilize the region via regime change, prop up a friendly despot and sell them weapons. We're the biggest armorer in the world. Here's a partial list for Bahrain, home of the US 5th Fleet (opposite Iran):

coastal patrol boats and a frigate that have been designated as excess U.S. military material, as well as engine upgrades for Bahrain’s fleet of F-16 fighter jets. Other sources said the list also included upgrades for Bahrain’s air defense communications, ground-based radar, air-to-air and ground-to-air missile systems and Cobra helicopters, as well as defense radar components and night-vision equipment.

i think we should outlaw governmetn weapons to pistols only and allow us citizens to have machine guns. A similar language is found in the constitution where only we the people can own land patents, not banks, or corporations, and government cannot even own land. How many of you knew that?

Sunday NY Times has stories that Wash State has no budget to treat whooping cough and Calif. has a multi billion shortfall requiring drastic cuts in necessities. But there's unquestioned, unlimited money for war: another story is US is dropping training Iraqi police after hundreds of billions wasted.

America crumbles as we build more jets, subs, carriers and enrich the 1% with endless global war.
